                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 28, 2005

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize James T. Molloy, 
former Doorkeeper of the House of Representatives who has been honored 
with the naming of a United States Postal Service facility located at 
2061 South Park Avenue in Buffalo, New York, as the ``James T. Molloy 
Post Office Building''. Jimmy Molloy has been my friend since I first 
arrived in the House of Representatives back in January of 1989. He was 
the door keepers-door keeper, a special person simply beloved by 
everyone.
  Six Presidents heard his thunderous announcements of their presence 
before joint sessions of Congress for the State of the Union address. 
When he said, ``Mr. Speaker, The President of the United States,'' the 
chamber would erupt in applause reflecting the enthusiasm of the 
doorkeeper's voice. It was always a great moment to witness.
  Jimmy always remembered his roots and the love he had for Buffalo, 
New York and its people. He spoke with great affection of his childhood 
in western New York and the foundation he developed for life in this 
region. Hard work, long hours, true friendships, and honesty were the 
hallmark of his life.
  To Jimmy Molloy, his family and friends, congratulations on the 
naming of the United States Postal Service facility on South Park 
Avenue in Buffalo. You deserve this special recognition. As your 
friend, I am very pleased.
